Bereshis 40:22 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 40:22

But he hanged the chief baker
The is, he ordered him to be hanged; because, as the same Targum says, he consulted to kill him (Pharaoh): as Joseph had interpreted to them;
the events as to both answered to the interpretation Joseph had given of their several dreams.

Bereshis 40:22 In-Context

20 And it came to pass on Yom HaShlishi, which was the yom huledet of Pharaoh, that he made a mishteh (feast) unto all his avadim; and he lifted up the rosh sar hamashkim and the rosh sar ha’ofim (head of the chief baker) in the midst of his avadim (officials).

21 He restored the sar hamashkim unto his mashkeh; and he gave the kos into the palm of Pharaoh;

22 But he hanged the sar ha’ofim: just as Yosef had made the pitron to them.

23 Yet did not the sar hamashkim remember Yosef [see Amos 6:6] but forgot him.
